Finally finished this knee rug for no one in particular. I wanted to crochet something rather than work on my new jumper with the Aran pattern (complicated) so made this.

Thanks for looking.

I am currently making a cat blanket - the first of 2 for #2 son's 2 lovely cats who woke him when the house caught fire from a faulty chimney.

Lovely rug! It's nice to just sit and knit and not have to think sometimes.

Also, those cats deserve hand knit blankets, wow!! :shock:

I love your blanket, the wavy pattern is always a winner, I think. The colors are so warm, lovely to snuggle in :D
The two cats definitively deserve a nice blanket each!!!

What a cheerful blanket! I like wavy patterns and this one appears to be quite textured as well, is that right?

The knee rug is lovely - so bright and cheery. The kitties deserve special blankies; I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I love the wavy pattern of your knee rug its really lovely :applesauce:

The cat blankets are very well deserving, thank goodness your son has his clever kitties that woke him up, I hope he's getting his life back on track now, what an awful thing to happen.

Here is a little jacket I slowly knitted over the warmer months and have finally finished and put it together. That it is finished is largely due to my short trip to Melbourne a few weeks ago as my DIL and I would sit near each other, chat occasionally and both knit like crazy, it was fun.
